Make a set of notes to explain how fractional distillation is used the separate the fractions in crude oil
Heating: Crude oil is heated to a high temperature (around 350°C) in a furnace, causing it to _____________ .
Fractionating  Column: The hot vaporized crude oil enters the ___________  of a fractionating column. 
Temperature Gradient: There is a temperature gradient within the column, with the hottest temperature at the bottom and the coolest at the ________ .
Condensation: As the vaporized crude oil rises through the column, it cools.  Hydrocarbons with higher boiling points condense back into liquids at __________  levels in the column, where the temperature is higher. Hydrocarbons with lower boiling points continue to rise until they reach a cooler level where they _____________ .
Collection: The condensed liquid fractions are ______________  on the trays and drawn off through pipes.

Other Answer Choices:

top

bottom

vaporize

condense

collected

lower

This is a typical structure and bonding 6 mark question and is worth having as a model answer in your notes.
Describe the relationship shown by the graph and use ideas about forces between molecules to explain this relationship.

The more carbons the higher the ____________  point 

The _________  carbons the larger the molecules. 

 larger molecules have ___________  boiling points 

Larger molecules have larger forces ____________  them 

The larger the forces between the molecules the more ___________  is required for them to break out of a liquid and become a ________ 

the more energy needed to _____________  the molecules, the higher the boiling point of the hydrocarbon 

the larger / more the forces between the ______________  the higher the boiling point
(The key idea is that we are overcoming the intermolecular forces not breaking the strong covalent bonds so the values are low and the first 3 are gasses at room temperature).

Other Answer Choices:

between

gas

energy

separate

molecules

boiling

more

higher
